The National Monument (locally known as Monas) is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jakarta, a 132 m tower topped by a 14.5 ton, gold plated bronze flame, situated at the heart of Merdeka Square. It was built to commemorate the struggle for Indonesian independence, and a good place to get a grasp of Indonesian history. Its construction was equally historic, spanning two presidents and surviving a coup.
